Spence takes over the lead

South African Daniel Spence (HSBC) has taken the lead in the Giro del Capo after finishing fifth in the third stage. Spence was part of a six man breakaway that finished 23 seconds in front of the main bunch, and 2'58 behind stage winner Zbigniew Piatek (Mroz).

Piatek's victory came after a 50 kilometre solo breakaway, which included the tough climb of Du Toit's Kloof Pass. On this climb, a group of five detached itself from the peloton containing David George (Astrolabe), Allan Davis (Mapei espoirs), Piotr Chmielewski (Mroz), Artour Babaitsev (Nürnberger), and Malcolm Lange (HSBC).

Daniel Spence had to close a 40 second gap over the top, which he managed to do on the descent into Paarl. Alan Davis won the sprint for second place, with David George finishing right behind him for third. The next group with race leader Bjorn Glasner finished another 23 seconds behind, followed by several other small groups.

Glasner was bumped down to second place overall behind Spence after spending most of the day defending his lead.

Tomorrow's fourth stage is a 40 kilometre circuit race in Cape Town.
